I have a bunch of riffs i been toying with. I don't know shit about drums though. Would anyone be interested in laying down a drum track(electronically or not) if i sent them a copy of the song and its worth contributing to.

I have a project called "Valscharuhn," and I actually posted one of the demos for it on here a while ago. I look back on it and don't really like it much though. Now I'm working on some ambient stuff, here's a link to one of the songs I've already finished. My intention is to make a concept album based on the seven wonders of the ancient world.

B) Old school grindcore worship (probably with a bit of black metal technique/phrasing as well)

There's enough of both genres. Maybe I'll start up a project for fun, but my compositional abilities are far behind what I would need to create a lasting work.

While the genres might be slightly different, you saved me the work of writing out my excuse for not taking the time to create something as well. I've not met many people in my area who share my music philosophy though, which really zapped my motivation to stick with it when I was in college and hamming away on the cheapest guitar I could get.

Good harmonies on that one. However, even though you've got a lot of rhythmic variation in your music, I sometimes find that the "1 2 1 2" drum beat, with the snare accentuating the third beat of each bar continuously, should be broken. Similarly, you should make use of fills from time to time, to give a greater sense of transition between some of the more violently opposed riffs (mainly in their rhythmic content, again). The riftcraft in itself is good, but the drums need to follow the riffs in a more dynamic function.

It's trial and error, as with all aspects of composition. Eventually, you hit upon certain methods which can only serve to improve the quality of your compositions (I recently discovered "melody", as opposed to just "riffs" - thank you Emperor, Summoning, and Mozart).
